Sketch Challenge at Retro Rubber Beach Scene

We have a clean and simple sketch for you to give a try at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog.  It should be fun to see what you create!  I gave it two tries and had fun with both!

 

 

This is actually what I decided I really liked for this challenge.  It reminds me of wall art where the scene is stretched over several panels on the wall.

•  The stamp is Hero Arts Color Layering Waves from 2019.  I used Altenew inks in Sand Dunes, Rocky Shore, Iceberg, Eastern Sky, Ultramarine, Arctic, Caribbean Sky, Persian Blue, and Sapphire.  
• The sentiment is from another Hero Arts set Mountains at the Lake.  The flying bird silhouettes are also from this set.  
• The die cut Adirondack chair is Taylored Expressions and a scrap of Distress paper was used.  To get the chair to face the direction I wanted I actually cut it in reverse and them flattened the rolled edges on the die cut.    
• The background texture is a press plate by Altenew named Burlap. 
• All the edges of the image and the sentiment were inked with the Sapphire ink.  

This is my first try:

•  For color inspiration I used Color Cube card 692.
• The birds are from Technique Tuesday's Chickadees 2.0 released in 2017.  They are stamped in VeraFine Clair Nocturne and head embossed in iridescent embossing powder.   Then colored with Prisma color pencils and die cut with coordinating dies.
• The chickadees are mounted on My Favorite Things Die-Namics Wonky Stitched Rectangles which are then mounted to a pre-printed A2 card base.   
• The sentiment is stamped on a matching piece of cardstock and die cut with the coordinating die.  
• Everything is adhered together for a quick finished card!

I hope that you will share you sketch inspiration with us over at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog!

Pretty color challenge for Retro Rubber

Where I live we are still in the midst of winter, not quite spring so it was fun to play along with this color challenge and look forward to warmer weather and blooming plants! 

Somehow color challenge reminds a bit of spring in Japan (or Washington D.C.) with the blooming Cherry Blossoms.  I was fortunate as a teen to spend a spring in Japan enjoying the beauty of all these light pink flowers, with dark magenta centers.  Looking through my stash I found this Blooming Branches from Technique Tuesday circa 2019. 

• Focal image image is stamped in VersaFine Clair Shady Lane and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Sentiment is stamped in the same way.
• Pulled out an old coloring media, EK Success Chalks in several palettes.   With small applicators it is easy to shade and quickly color the image.
• Waffle Flower A2 Piercing Dies are used to die cut the focal image and the backing layer.  
• To add a little interest the A2 card base is stamped with the same image with VersaFine Clair in Shady Lane several times around the edges. 
• The layers are adhered to the A2 card base with dimensional foam adhesive.  

 This was a fairly quick and easy card to put together.  In fact I tried a slightly different version as well using Technique Tuesday's Wild Roses released in 2016.  Added yellow to the centers of the roses to match what they look like in nature.

 

Which one do you like better?  Thanks for stopping by and know that your comments are appreciated!
